Sometimes, the biggest thing an entrepreneur gains isn't just a new skill, a business strategy, or access to capital. It's the realization that they don't have to build alone. When Amber joined Our Village United's ELEVATED LA cohort, she was a new entrepreneur navigating an industry with limited representation from women-owned businesses. Today, she's building a growing pet wellness brand with a presence in 25 locations and a team of seven. We're especially proud that grant funding from Our Village United helped @ambeezysorganic cover commercial kitchen expenses and certification fees, contributing to her achievement of USDA Organic certification. That's what it looks like when capital meets opportunity. But perhaps Amber said it best when reflecting on her experience in the village: finding her people and knowing she wasn't building alone was a GAME-CHANGER. Amber, we're proud of your growth, your vision, and your commitment to creating opportunities for those who will come after you. The seeds you're planting matter. Join us in celebrating Amber and Ambeezy's Organics! #OurVillageUnited #AVillageOnTheRise #VillagerSpotlight #AmbeezysOrganics #SmallBusinessGrowth
